[Intro]
Colours, colours
Wonderful, wonderful colours
See, all the colours!
[Repeated Chorus: Reversed Sample]
After the tears, true love can start
Where there's a heartache, there must be a heart
After the tears, true love can start
Where there's a heartache, there must be a heart
After the tears, true love can start
Where there's a heartache, there must be a heart
After the tears, true love can start
Where there's a heartache, there must be a heart
[Bridge: Jonathan Donahue]
Hey mermaids, I'm only here in the sun to play
I wanna join you in the urban surf
And learn to love you in a neon way
Hey mermaids, I'm only here in the sun to play
I wanna join you in the urban surf
Hey mermaids, I'm only here in the sun to play (Wonderful, wonderful)
I wanna join you in the urban surf (Colours)
And learn to love you in a neon way
[Verse: Jonathan Donahue]
Over sea, under stone
No-one wants to be alone
Everybody's going somewhere
After dark and the bars are slow
Where do all the mermaids go?
Everybody's got there somewhere
Everybody knows it's somewhere
(Everybody's got there somewhere)
[Repeated Chorus: Reversed Sample]
After the tears, true love can start
Where there's a heartache, there must be a heart
After the tears, true love can start
Where there's a heartache, there must be a heart (Yo, colours)
After the tears, true love can start (Everybody's got there somewhere)
Where there's a heartache, there must be a heart (Wonderful, wonderful, colours)
After the tears, true love can start
Where there's a heartache, there must be a heart (Colours, colours, colours)
After the tears, true love can start
Where there's a heartache, there must be a heart (Colours)
[Outro]
Everybody knows it's somewhere
Everybody's got there somewhere
Everybody's got there somewhere
Colours!
Colours was written by Jonathan Donahue & Tony Di Blasi & Robbie Chater.
Colours was produced by Robbie Chater.
The Avalanches released Colours on Thu Jun 16 2016.
“Funny little fact: it was made using real colours we stole from a rainbow. We didn’t use any samples to make this, not one sample at all.” – Tony Di Blasi in an interview with Triple J
